St. Paul: Searchers seek reported High Bridge jumper

Searchers were in the Mississippi River in St. Paul on Friday, looking for a person who jumped off the High Bridge the night before, the Ramsey County sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office water patrol unit searched the area with side-scan sonar, said Sgt. John Eastham, sheriff's office spokesman. It was regarded as a recovery operation and the St. Paul Fire Department was also involved in the search, he said.

Officials received a report of someone jumping off the bridge Thursday night.
